I loved the mechanic!
Really cool game. The only thing I do not like is that the platforms stop moving once you are grappled. This makes reaching the next one annoying, as I have to drop and hook multiple times for it to move in the right spot.
I liked the game mechanics it is very unique, sprite and animation are also very nice. I liked playing this game. Can you please play my game and tell me how it is?
awesome art and spritework
High quality artwork there! Character sprites are so expressive and dynemic! And I love this unique coice of colors! Gameplay is cool too, but as a visual novel fan, I wish it was a spider dating sim instead hahaha. Auntie looks absolutely adorable!
Thank you so much! I wish I had more time to make more sprites.
Neat stuff. Fun game with a little story. Some jumps seemed impossible until I figured I had to sling my self and move left or right. That dialog font is a bit hard to read. Polished game though and the pixel art is very well made. Good job.
Nice concept! It's a little hard to control since the grapple boosts you back down if you release slightly too late tho.
my mouse doesn't build for this game, I kept falling
the art is cute though, I love it! :D
The art is so gorgeous! The dialogue for the intro was so cute and funny too, I think the theming is really the highlight of your game! I think the grappling gameplay was really fun, but it took me a while to figure out what I was doing at first because I didn't see the perspective of the flies being "above" my character and thought I just needed to walk up off the platform lol. I think it'd be nice if the flies you grapple on kept moving while you were grappled on so that you could aim better for the next platform, but I was a bit uncoordinated so that might have just been me lol.
ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN' LOVED THIS!
The glorious music, the instinctual pull to protect the ophids, the well balanced challenge, the solid feel of the controls,
the secret crush on my Aunt Dahliandiphorand the consistently charming art~💃I see no reason not to give this one 5 stars all 'round~✨
Thanks! You make it sound like we put a lot more thought into this than we did XD It's goofy, we're glad you like it!
Thank you! Dahiandiphor was definitely my favorite to draw, though the littlest aphid comes in close second.
Very Funny game that's also fun! can you play our teams game?
After a while I finally find out a strategy, Use 1 fly like a rubber band, drop down a bit to gap the fly again and fly really high, repeat ! Great art too . Although the dialog font is a bit unclear for me
amazing game I suck at!
Cute and fleshed out game :)
